Exams have kept me from the gym lately. I'm heading back tomorrow to get back on the intense cycle of the Smolov squat cycle and a couple of heavy doubles on the bar for deadlift. Been eating terribly lately.

BenchI wanted to dedicate a bit of a session to fixing my bench form, and adapting a better set up for a meet. Asparagus got me on to a video not too long ago and I set up the same way as instructed. Bigger arch, feet farther back and keeping my elbows in.

Didn't want to throw anything too heavy, just wanted to get the form and set up solid before pushing myself. I found the range of motion to be well shorter than normal. powering up towards my head rather than away from myself. It felt good and I'm excited to get back on the bench and go for some heavier low rep sets.

Squats are coming together again after that brutal training last week. Excited to see a lot of progression.

Blood sugar went way too low for me to feel comfortable so I ended up heading home to grab some food. Diabetes sucks sometimes but I will back tomorrow for hitting the bench again, and my squats for the day.

215 felt good on the bar, heavy enough to get me pushing myself, but I could get 6 on each set. The triple was only because there were no spotters available.
